By Michael Krieger: Here’s a story recently related to me by a guest at a
White House dinner, which included Google’s Eric Schmidt: The president,
whose most important job is surely to protect the integrity of the
monetary system, smugly asked Schmidt if Bitcoin, one of many growing
challenges to currency hegemony, was anything he had to worry about.- From a USA Today article titled: How CEOs are Clueless About TechnologyIf the above is accurate (and I have no reason to suspect it isn’t),
it is priceless information on so many levels. First of all, rather than
ask about Bitcoin in an inquisitive manner free of prejudice as a
enlightened leader surely would, Obama is merely primatively wondering
if he needs to “worry about it.”Actually Barry, if you had any sense and foresight whatsoever you
would be looking at it as a great opportunity. An opportunity for the
nation to lead the way in growing the Bitcoin economy and
shed the archaic, feudalistic monetary system we are currently enslaved
under. However, since you work directly for the oligarch money
manipulators themselevs, you are clearly and disastrously unable to see
things in a more productive and beneficial way.Second, as I highlighted earlier this year, Eric Schmidt had no clue
what Bitcoin was when Julian Assange first mentioned it to him in a lengthy interview in 2011. The initial exchange went as follows:

By Dr. Tara J. Palmatier:It’s
day 28 of Domestic Violence Awareness Month for Men and Boys, the
invisible victims of domestic violence. Like many men featured in the In His Own Words series, “Jimbeaux” fell in love with and married a woman with Borderline Personality disorder.She abused him and their son. She made false allegations. She tried
to alienate their son from him. When the son was finally able to tell
the judge that he wanted to live with his father and his reasons for
doing so, BPD mom rejected the boy in retaliation and embarked upon a
costly legal campaign undoubtedly fueled by borderline rage.While Jimbeaux and his son were able to get away from their abuser,
they paid a price. Jimbeaux is in debt thanks to a corrupt family court
system that time and again enables and empowers malicious, abusive women
bent on destruction. His son suffers the scars of having a BPD mom, as
do most children left in the sole care of a BPD parent for any
significant period of time.

HALC: Auslander was an accomplished American poet and the first Consultant in
Poetry for the Library in Congress. In 1943, he published a collection
of poems, The Unconquerables. Each poem was dedicated to a different German-occupied country. Here’s his poem about Greece:

An Open Letter to the Unconquerable Greeks

Joseph Auslander

I write this letter to you on my knees
In the night,
O people of a thousand Thermopylaes,
And every word I write,
If it be worthy somehow in your sight—
Sons of Solon, daughters of Pericles—
Will blaze with light.

Regard this letter
As token payment long since overdue
From your eternal debtor—

By Jonathan Taylor: Summary:
a student at Temple University was expelled and has his life in ruins
over a false rape claim. After providing this brief backstory, the
remainder of the submission is my “friendly” email to Temple University
administrators. The primary purpose of this submission is to expose the
names of those involved and highlight for the public how and why
administrators like them do what they do.Since this is a large university (26th largest in the US),
they have many administrators who handle student affairs, making it
hard to pinpoint which one worked with the Title IX Coordinator on this
particular case. However, they only have one Title IX Coordinator
(Sandra Foehl). Since she must oversee all accusations of sexual assault
and is the overarching authority on gender equity compliance, we know
she had a hand in this. That is why I call her out by name, and why we
can nail her to the wall on this one.

By Will Bancroft:In recent days bitcoin has surged past the $200 price level.
That’s a bit like the Dow blazing past 15,000, which it did in May.
Bitcoin’s market cap is once again over $2 billion on the back of
stunning 50 percent price rises in less than two weeks.Digital currencies have come a long way and although still niche,
illiquid markets, their evolution continues at a rapid rate. But when
did these disruptive, digital money trends get started? I think you can
trace it to the early 1990s, well before crypto-currencies had even been
conceived.The first developments in this new money trend started with the
marriage of the oldest forms of money – gold and silver bars – expressed
in the 1s and 0s of the information age. After David Chaum, a
mathematician started his DigiCash
experiment in 1990 – it ultimately failed – and other pioneers filed
patents for digital gold payments systems, the action really got started
in 1996 when eGold was founded by oncologist Douglas Jackson and
attorney Barry Downey.

By Michael Krieger: This is a topic that has been on my radar screen for a while, but one
that very few Americans seem to be paying attention to despite the
egregious revelations concerning NSA spying that have emerged recently. I
first flagged this issue in late 2012 in an article titled: Coming to Your Car: Mandatory Black Boxes That Record Everything.The latest push for tracking devices in cars is being sold as
necessary in order to raise funds to pay for the nation’s decayed
highway infrastructure. For example:As America’s road planners struggle to find the cash to mend a
crumbling highway system, many are beginning to see a solution in a
little black box that fitsneatly by the dashboard of your car.This is simply idiotic. There is already a tax per gallon on
gasoline, so people are already being taxed based on how much they
drive. Only a control-freak, moronic government bureaucrat would come to
the conclusion that the solution to this problem is to install
Orwellian tracking devices in people’s cars.More from the LA Times:WASHINGTON — As America’s road planners struggle to find the cash
to mend a crumbling highway system, many are beginning to see a
solution in a little black box that fitsneatly by the dashboard of your car.

The devices,
which track every mile a motorist drives and transmit that information
to bureaucrats, are at the center of a controversial attempt in
Washington and state planning offices to overhaul the outdated system
for funding America’s major roads.

By Diana Davison: In 1963 Betty Friedan started “second wave feminism” by identifying the woes of women as “The problem with no name.”The reason it had no name is because it wasn’t really a problem. Well, okay, it’s a problem for people who don’t have actual problems.Twenty years earlier, Abraham Maslow developed his Hierarchy of Needs
theory which provided a ranking system placing types of human
development on a pyramidal scale. The base of the pyramid consists of
survival or physiological needs which must be met before the next level,
safety, can be sought and so on up through the progressive levels that
follow; love/belonging, esteem, self-actualization, and
self-transcendence at the apex.Betty had a degree in psychology but it seems she missed the lectures
on Maslow. Either that, or she was unable to grasp the concepts because
he avoided “crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens” like
her when he chose subjects to construct his theory.Here is a graphic of Maslow’s hierarchy to explain what sorts of problems normal humans face.

By John Ward:Everything
the Conservative Party is going to do from here on is going to be
predictable. At least, that’s the impression one gets looking through
the ‘news’ this morning.24 hours after Grant ‘Who am I?’ Shapps threw down the gauntlet
to the Beeb, in marches Berkeley-Hunt to tell us that “The NHS risks
losing public support because of a BBC-style culture of excessive pay
and payoffs”. I don’t think the NHS is losing support at all, but we can
see that the two familiar hate-targets are still clearly in the
rifle-sights. And in rigid military order, ‘Ministers’ the Torygraph
tells us, are falling in behind the march: they want to strip the Beeb
of its right to cover crown-jewels sporting events.Guess which satellite news company has built its viewership on sporting events?

I don’t like overpaid NHS management getting fat salaries either, but whose idea was it again to create an internal market
in the NHS? I don’t mind Hunt telling them they need a reality check on
pay. Can we now therefore hope that his colleague the Chancellor will
write to all senior investment bankers proffering the same advice? Is
Dave ‘four pullovers’ Cameron going to read the Riot Act to the six
energy suppliers who’ve been ripping us all off when wholesale prices stayed flat as a pancake?But when the electorate’s thick, and truth is thin on the ground,
stuff like this will happen.

By Michael Snyder:Did
you know that the number of Americans on welfare is higher than the
number of Americans that have full-time jobs? Did you know that 1.2
million public school students in the U.S. are currently homeless?
Anyone that uses the term "economic recovery" to describe what is
happening in the United States today is being deeply insulting to the
nearly 150 million Americans that are considered to be either "poor" or
"low income" at this point. Yes, things are great in New York City,
Washington D.C. and San Francisco, but almost everywhere else economic
conditions continue to steadily get worse. The gap between the wealthy
and the poor is at a level that America has never seen before, and this
is beginning to create a "Robin Hood mentality" that could cause a
tremendous amount of social chaos in the years ahead. Anger at the
"haves" in America continues to rise at a very alarming pace, and the
"have nots" are becoming increasingly desperate.
At some point all of this anger is going to boil over, and you won't
want to be anywhere around major population centers when that happens.
Despite unprecedented borrowing
by the federal government in recent years, and despite unprecedented
money printing by the Federal Reserve, poverty in the United States
keeps getting worse with each passing year. The following are 29
incredible facts which prove that poverty in America is absolutely
exploding...

OxfordUnion: He outlines that his talk will be about Britain rather than the rest of
the world. During the Second World War Winston Churchill was invited by
his own foreign secretary, Lord Halifax to make peace with Hitler, a
surrender peace with Hitler. Churchill said he would rather everyone be
choking on their own blood than to have Great Britain surrender to the
Nazi's. If Britain had been invaded and Churchill escaped death then he
would have retreated to the hills to organise the British resistance. He
makes this point as there are so many people in Britain that don't
understand that any people who have had their homeland invaded and
occupied by others feels exactly the same.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

George Orwell's Message: to everyone on the Internet

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
